A Curious Case.

without food, is in this city to 'recov-
err Last spring Anabel began to lose
appetite and gradually discarded the
use of food. At first she gave up tea
and coffee. then she stopped eating
meat and butter. Vegetables were
dropped next, and finally she even
stopped milk and fruit During her
long fast she virtually lived ON air and
water. She drank in great quantities
and inhaled the atmosphere with much
satisfaction. She became dreamy and
slightly preoccupied, but did not de-
cline in health, Her cheeks became
pale, but she was not reduced in weight
to any extent. BY order of physician
she was regularly bathcd in milk and
olive oil. She was also induced to take
minute homeopathic pills. Every device
was resorted to TO stimulate taste for
food. but she rejected them all alike.
The tifty-th;rd day she was seen to nib
BILE crust of bread From that time
she commenced to gradually recover
her appetite. She be gan with the same
things that she left off, but even now
she will not touch meat. During the
last tifty-three days she lost but ten
pounds, and even that may be due to
the fact that she was constantly har-
raised by the curious and inquisitive.
She now has a ruddy skin and shows
no symptoms of i'll Health. The fact
that she suffered no pain nor inconvcn-
fence makes it hard to understand her
case.-St. Pau! (!Aian.) Special

A Novel Settlement.

A City of Mexico correspondent
writes: Up in the mountains, about
twenty leagues from this capital, there
is ''pueblo," or community of pure
Indians, which is governed by six wise
old men and six venerable women, who
form sort of patriarchal council, to
which all the disputes or differ ences
occurring in the village are submitted
for arbitration. In order to attain pa
triarcilal dignity, a man must, during
his youth and middle age have be n
honest. laborious, and truthful Tn 9
matriarch must have brought up FAM
lily of children properly, and never
been given to lying. stealing or gossip
ing.
In this pueblo each Saturday is set
apart for labors of love and charity.
All the able-bodied men and women
leave their own land or usual occupa-
tons and till the grounds of the wild
owS and young orphans. or else work
for the benefit of the old, sick, blind,
and helpless. Sometimes, when there
is large family of boys and the par
ents can not give each land "whereon
to raise his food,' some energetic
youth. who has heard of the great
world called Mexico City, desires to
60 there to earn his bread and prehaps
that, too, of some dusky maiden whom
he designs or hopes to wed. The fact
that he does not know a phrase of
Spanish rarely deters him; moreover,
there are a few learned men in Mexico
City who understand the Ortomie lam
guage.
When the family of young Indian
has consented to the proposed exodus
the patriarchs and the matriarchs
hold a solemn council ways and
means are discussed. and then the
would-be emigrant is earnestly admon-
ished: BE brave, honest, truthful, and
industrious, and never disgrace your
pueblo by any act unworthy an Otto

The lads departure is serious af-
fair. The entire community accompa-
ny him to certain boundary line and
the venerable fathers and mothers

His little wife was she;
Aad both were quite content to wait
Till he a man should be.
They played together as they grow;

They'd QUARREL when the clock was two,
And make it up at three!
At fifteen he on girlish toys
Looks down wit', scornful naein:
Aad she disdains to play With boys
At feminine thirteen.
His na!rl.n oni:l views are cool.
At love he gaily mocks:
She boasts a .!ea rest friend at school,
And daily frightening frocks!
When twenty sees him quite man,
lts bliss has one alloy;
She laughs at him behind her fan
And calls him such Il boy.
For she has lovers now galore,
Who smiles and favor crave,
And lie who tyranizetl OF yore
Is now her humb!es slave!
They are now middle aged; it's said
His chin beard now covers;
And, strange to say. she's not yet vel,
In spite OF all her lovcra!
But vain for her to sigh for him,
For so the story tells
Grown weary Of caprice and within,
He's married some one else!

The price of No. 2 spring wheat in

January l, 1886. Was 95 IS cents a.
bushel in gold, while the average for
1884 was SO cents, and for 1885, SO
81 cents. Thus the decline from the
average OF the last twenty six years to
the average OF 1884 and 1895 is IL
per cent. From the indications the
average price for the present year will
be II cents, which would make de.

Prominent Figures In the Saddle,

Washington Cor. n. Y. Sun.
Don Cameron's horsebac ride from
Harrisburg to Washington recently
in company with his daughter was not
as pleasant a journey. rs he had an
ticipated, owing to the bad weather.
The roads between here and Harris
burg are among the finest in the coun-
try, and it is a beautiful region to trav.
el through. Senator Cameron is one
OF many Washingtonians who enjoy
long horseback excursions. He always
has a fine mount. His daily compan-
ion on these rides during the session
of Congress is his handsome friend,
Senator Butler, of South Carolina.
The tall, striking looking Senators on
their big bang.taile.i chargers always
make a sensation when they ride along
the avenues.
Another famous, horseman is Sec
rotary Bayard, who sits most grace
fully III the saddle, and puts his hand
some and spirited iron-gray horse on
his mettle when he strikes the country
roads.
Secretary William c. Whitney is
another horseman you want to look
out for. Heis a dashing cavalier, and
puts his long-taiIed sorrel over tho
road at tearing gallop.
Secretary Lamar rides an old brown
nag that stands; without hitching and
considerably turns out for people
whom Mr.. Lamar doesn't see when
he's in brown study.
The most interesting horsemar in
Washington, however, is George Ban
croft, the veteran historian. He is
eighty-seven years old, but he never
misses an outing in the open air, no
matter what the weather may be.
On rainy days he usually takes q
brisk walk on Pennsylvania avarue,
but in good weather his favorite out
ing is or horseback. He rides a
steady, easy cantering cob, and an
attendant rides at his side. With his
long silvery hair floating from his
silken cap, and his semi military
cloak wrapped about his slender
form, the old historian is striking

vate purse and the railroad running to
Niagara Falls passed the happy pair
free to that great curiosity and back.
This is a rather high premium to pay
for getting two Young people married,

the whole the matrimonial feature OF

that it was necessary to lock him up.
1t was two days before it was safe to
leave him alone. He said he had been
drinker but short time, but his
associates were such that it was one in

His parents had tried every way to lead
him to sobricty and he had struggled
hard, but in vain, to please them and
redeem himself. They had placed him
under Sister Baptista's care. and he
was glad of it. for he believed that if
he was once thoroughly sobered up he
